starletburkie Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 pics arnt very clear and some make no sense but looks like you snaped the mount and it damaged the block Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Going from your alternator its been leaking oil for sometime! (its all gunked up) there for not fresh! so maybe the crack oil seal is on its way out on that side!And going from the Top Engine mount in the pics you have deffo fucked and engine mount somewere wiether its the front gearboc mount or the rear gearbox mount in not sure!..so the best thing to do is take them off and have a look at them! And your alternator belt has only snapped because your engine has hit the chasey of the car as the engine has twisted Edited October 29, 2012 by micky boy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 way to much fresh oil spread around there to be crank seal! defo cracked the block or something that engine will probaly have to come out imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 the alternator is like that because it came out from my old engine, oil want leaking then , if block is cracked can it be fixed or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If the oil seal on that side is well fucked then it will be fresh/old oil as its the main seal near the oil pump! But its deffo been leaking for sometime!Id try and sort the engine mounts out and go from there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1878 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Get that engine out ... Need to locate the source of that oil and get a better look at what's going on down there.Hope it's nothing serious but as about that oil is pretty fresh so can only see it being damage to the block!?

micky boy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 If the oil is comeing from the crank oil seal near the oil pump behind the bottom timeing belt cover it will drop on to your pullys and flick oil everywhere!Thats my gess anyways hope its nothing majour matey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Sure its not the dipstick? I mean if the engines dropped it could have knocked it and split it, and if it was running when it happened it would have gone everywhere!Best bet get it looked at and see whats going on!

Hawwy Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Okay where u mean dipstick ?I think engine will be okay as chekeed dipstic it was just on min better that nothing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 anybody got picture of how it looks the driver side mounting point , i mean the engine side where the mount bolts on to? also is the part where the mount bolts on to part of the block or is it bolted on to block , as the bit where the mount bolts on to that is the actual bit that gone into timing belt cover,if it is broken and cracked block can it be repaired? welded etc? if so anybody know who will be able to do it? reason is i dont want to replace engine if it is damaged as it was forged and not cheap so i dont want to go standard and cant afford another forged Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 think its bolted the the block, i maybe wrong but your best off checking Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Still hard too tell whats happened, im guessing the mount has pulled off of the block. The lower bolt looks asif its damaged near the end which might mean its worked loose and hopefully the other bolts may have aswel.Id start by jackng the engine up the the original level, remove the upper timing belt cover and see if you can see where the mount should bolt too the block. Im guessing theres 3 bolts normally so see if thera any damage to the block around where the mount should meet it. If its hard to see whats going on get some more pics of underneath the cover for us to see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looks a bit fucked lol that mount that bolts to the engine much have had a week point in it to snap off like that. Very very bad luck on this one by the looks of things. Need to jack the engine up and get all the covers off and what's left of the mount off. See what the hell went on. See what's been going on. The oil leak can only come from crank seal, oil pump, cam / rocker cover seal, cam caps, out the front corner of the head gasket, sump. Need to get the mont sorted, clean the engine down so there is no oil and run it up without the covers on see what's going on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawwy Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) That part of the mount as in 1st pic is sitting on the pulley.I only got jacks so where is best place to jack engine fromGrant you say snap off as in? Parts easily replaced* Edited October 31, 2012 by Hawwy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah i can see that, thats why you need to get it back to the original level ideally.Best place to jack it is on the sump, but put a bit of wood between the jack and the sump to spread the load and avoid damaging it.
